Stories in Honour of Eric Brown

The anthology written to honour Eric, edited by Ian Whates, is now available for pre-order at the Newcon Press website. Publication date is set for 24th May 2024, Eric’s birthday.

Here’s what the publisher says:

Eric Brown was one of the UK’s finest SF authors. His work won him awards, his storytelling won him readers; more than that, though, he was a special person, and that won him many friends.

Containing all new stories from some of the UK’s finest genre writers, this volume, released to mark what would have been Eric’s 64th birthday, is dedicated to Eric and his family. It is our way of celebrating someone whose work inspired us and whose friendship made a difference.
